#snickers cake

Snickers cake and cake pops !

very sweet & incredibly delicious

ingredients :

chocolate cake :

5 egg yolks

5 egg whites

pinch of salt

130-160ml milk (depending on the size of the eggs)

130g soft butter

150g sugar

90g flour

60g cornstarch

60g cocoa

1 pck. baking powder

Beat your egg whites with salt until fluffy, add half of your sugar and continue beating until you get a stiff consistency. Take another bowl and mix the soft butter with the rest of your sugar. Now mix in the egg yolks (+ I added some vanilla extract but that’s optional) until combined. Then combine all your dry ingredients and sieve them into your butter mixture alternately with milk ! (Make sure to not add the dry ingredients all at once because the batter will get too dry and difficult to work with) You should end up with a dark batter - thick consistency ! Now fold in the egg snow - take some time, do it with love and patience. Done :) Fill into your cake pan and bake at 180° for 30 min (do the toothpick test to make sure) [ This is perfect for a 26cm cake pan but mine had 18cm so I had a lot of leftovers, which later became the cake pops! ]

caramel layer :

200g sugar

170g cream

200g salted peanuts

Add sugar to a non-stick pan and heat it up until your sugar dissolves. Don’t worry this might take a while ! Just keep stirring until you have smooth caramel. Then add your cream and keep stirring. The temperature difference will cause it to clump but it’ll dissolve again as long as you keep stirring. When everything is combined you can add your salted peanuts.

Butter cream :

150g soft butter

50g powdered sugar

250g marshmallow fluff

1-2 tbsp's peanut butter

Mix the soft butter, peanut butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Then add your marshmallow fluff and keep mixing until everything is combined.

decoration:

200g whole milk couverture

mini snickers

peanuts

Cut through your chocolate cake, you should have 2 layers. Take one layer (+ I soaked it with a tad of milk but that’s optional as well) and spread the warm caramel-peanut mass.

Wait for the caramel layer to cool down to prevent your cream (which will come on top) from melting

Spread the cream on your caramel layer and top it off with your other chocolate cake piece.

I had left over caramel so I added that in the middle of the cake (see pictures) and used melted couverture to cover the rest of my cake - some cut up snickers on top of that and we’re done ! <3

I had a lot of leftovers because of my small cake pan so I added them all (cake,cream and caramel) into one bowl, kneaded with my hands until they were combined, made small balls and covered them with melted chocolate + peanuts.
